The anti-fog coating on the inside of the shield scratches if you look at it too hard. This shield was unusable at night after just a few weeks. Joe Rocket was much better off with HJC making their helmets than with whoever is doing it now.

Below are more Joe Rocket Reviews from our online customers.

Hopefully they can help you find the right item and make the best buying decision.

Ship one to try out.Six years ago my wife bought a carbon fiber helmet for my Birthday. Although different brand, same e helmet. Aerodynamics right on cue. One problem that I had was that it seemed pretty heavy for a CF helmet. I also thought shell size was big for being what was supposedly light.Is the Joe Rocket version of what I had made smaller and lighter. I wouldn't mind finding out for you guys. My head measurement is 60 cm. Ship me a large and I'll provide a fair assessment.-BV

I just received this helmet and want to give update on the size for potential buyers. It does run somewhat big comparing to Shoei even sizing charts are almost the same. I tried Shoei X-Twelve and RF-1200 few times in large size, medium was way too small. However I read one review stating that this helmet runs large, so I ordered medium. I think after it brakes in it will fit just great. Overall fit is and finish are great. First thing you'll notice is how light it is.

This helmet is a vast improvement over my prior carbon fiber RKT101. It is more comfortable and truly solved my biggest complaint of it's predecessor too much wind on your face. The RKT101 acctually made my eyes water from all the air that blows on your face- this helmet totally resolved the issue with a nice secure fit and a snug chin curtain. I rode in 85-90 degree weather and even the all black helmet titanium color did not feel hot or stuffy indicating to me that it provides adequate ventilation. The vents will take a little getting used too, but as I said, do work well when opened. My only qualm about this helmet is that Rocket has gone to a proprietary shield design one of the reasons I decided on the Rocket helmet was due to the collection of old HJC sheilds I have accumulated and thought I would be able to use... now that I have the helmet in-hand I realize that I need to buy a new tinted shield

I've been through a lot of helmets, primarily heavy modular ones. A couple years ago, I decided to try a carbon fiber full-face I found on closeout. I had quit smoking, so a modular wasn't so important to me and, well, dude Carbon fiberThat was a Joe Rocket RKT-101, and it served me well until I got hit by a car and it hit the ground at 60 per. When I got back on two after that, I got a deal on a Bell Vortex. That was a great helmet, but it was also heavy and loud.Enter the Joe Rocket Speedmaster. This thing is a solid 13 ounces less than the Bell it replaces, and it's much, much, quieter as well. My neck doesn't get sore like it used to, and I can hear my music at, well, let's just say higher speeds than I could with the Bell.The fit on this helmet is rather particular. It had me worried at first, and I actually got a headache from it one day when I didn't properly adjust it on my head, but it's not a problem as long as it's seated right. Basically, while every other helmet I've owned has had a range of movement front to back, this one wants to stay at a particular place on my head. That's actually a good thing. It doesn't cut off the top of my field of view like my old Nolans used to. It stays put where it should, as long as you put it on right in the first place. And you'll know if you've got it on wrong.I ride with a Bose in-ear headset, and I have the speaker unit for my Adaptiv TPX in the helmet's left ear pocket. No problems there.In theory, I like Bell's magnetic strap keeper better than Joe Rocket's snap. In practice, the elastic loop required by Bell's system broke off repeatedly and Joe Rocket's just works.Road surfaces and half-covered trucks here in Texas take their toll on shields. At about 25 for an anti-fog shield, those replacements cost a lot less for a Joe Rocket than they do for a Bell 40 or a Nolan 70. The anti-fog treatment seems to work pretty well so far, and we've actually had some cool nights here recently that put it to the test.The ventilation seems good so far, though I'm sure it won't flow enough air come Summer. Nothing does. Nothing could. I was worried that the vents would be flimsy when I saw pictures, but they're not. Build quality in general seems to be excellent. It doesn't feel as sturdy as my Bell, but I think that's at least partly because of weighing nearly a pound less...My bike is my only transportation, and I have three weeks or so of wearing this helmet day in and day out. No complaints yet, and that's pretty high praise in and of itself. Well, okay, two complaints the visor is a little hard to open when it's all the way closed, and I would've preferred a Nolan-style clicker on the neck strap. That's why I didn't give it five stars, but I would've done four and a half if it let me.
